Strategic Asset Allocation

Strategic Asset Allocation

Setting the long-term asset mix that gives your portfolio the best chance of meeting its objectives.

Overview

Strategic asset allocation is the single largest driver of long-run portfolio outcomes. We help boards and investment committees decide how much to hold in growth assets, defensive assets and diversifiers — grounded in your liabilities, spending needs and tolerance for drawdown.

Our work combines capital-market assumptions, scenario testing and peer benchmarking, so the final mix is both evidence-based and practical to implement. We revisit the allocation on a defined cycle and after major market or organisational changes.

What this covers

  • Objectives and risk-tolerance workshops with trustees and stakeholders
  • Capital-market assumptions and scenario modelling
  • Liquidity and spending-policy analysis
  • Benchmark selection and rebalancing policy
  • Periodic review against changing market conditions
